it will fail on emissions, not the fact it's de-catted.
I read you can buy an expensive sports decat that keeps emissions down..?

i read stories some people with management rig the engine with a custom 'MOT' map, so when its in for its MOT it runs the engine with just enough fuel to turn it over & do the test & also keep emissions down with no decat...

stories yes... but no hard proof

yes it will fail the mot.
supersprint, janspeed, 4 branch manifolds, supersprint was 330 squid when i bought it, janspeed do one at about 240 i think, both stanless steel. sportex do one as well for 180/190 but its mild steel. another option would be a sports cat, janspeed do one for 260, while sportex do one at 190 squid. JANSPEED AND SUPERSPRINT ARE AVAILIBLE FROM DEMON TWEEKS, SPORTEX ARE SUPPLIED BY ON-LINE AUTOSPORT.

my car passed the emissions with no cat on a C20XE, it will only fail the MOT if it fails the emissions test, not just because there's no cat (as people above have sad )
